TL;DR · Senior Lead Software Engineer, Full Stack

Senior Lead Software Engineer, Full Stack (Bank Tech) serves as an Engineering Lead within the Solutions Engineering team, a professional services organization that tackles critical initiatives across multiple domains. You will operate in a SWAT-style model, leading small teams of engineers to deliver high-quality production code, architectural decisions, and prototypes under compressed timelines. The role requires navigating complex problem spaces involving integration, modernization, reliability, automated testing, and machine learning. You will work with technologies including JavaScript, Java, TypeScript, Python, Go, and AWS cloud infrastructure, while also engaging with distributed microservices, serverless architectures, and event-driven systems. This position addresses core banking challenges such as payments, account servicing, and data platforms. You must be adept at rapid context switching to resolve technical hurdles across the bank's diverse systems landscape rather than focusing on a single product.

  • Write production code, make architecture decisions, and conduct code reviews for high-priority initiatives.
  • Lead small teams of engineers to deliver solutions across diverse technical domains and stacks.
  • Decompose complex, ambiguous problems into practical implementations with clear milestones.
  • Rapidly onboard to unfamiliar codebases and deliver results under compressed timelines.
  • Ensure production quality regarding performance, testability, operability, and security.
  • Communicate technical trade-offs and project risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Mentor engineers on engagement teams to improve their technical skills and navigation of the professional services model.
  • Produce high-quality documentation and materials to facilitate clean handovers to receiving teams.

What we're looking for

  • At least 6 years of experience in software engineering.
  • At least 1 year of experience with cloud computing (AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud).
  • Master's Degree (Preferred).
  • 9+ years of experience in JavaScript, Java, TypeScript, Python, or Go (Preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience with AWS (Preferred).
  • 4+ years of experience with open source frameworks (Preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience in Agile practices (Preferred).
